Mission:
As a Christian, I see my mission in proclaiming the biblical ideals of love and kindness, bringing joy and hope so that people can live a happier and more fulfilling life, and in our harsh world there will be more warmth and attention to others.
I believe that the love of Christ is able to change everything and give peace and joy to a suffering heart, it is said: “For God alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation” (Psalm 62:2). I will be glad to meet you at divine services in the Maple Valley Seventh-day Adventist Church. Welcome to our Christian family, where love is shared, where lives are transformed, and where God dwells!
Background:
Born in a country formerly of the Soviet Union, now the Russian Federation, Sergei Kuzmin grew up in a family with an older brother, a military officer father, and a mother whose love, kindness, and care helped him to overcome many difficulties. His character was shaped in an atmosphere of love, understanding, and support that helped nurture his empathy and social awareness. They instilled a love for reading, music, and art, which led Sergei to music school, then college, and graduation from the conservatory in clarinet class.
His family today is his wife Svetlana, a piano teacher, and he has a son and daughter-in-law, and his youngest child, his daughter Maria.
When Sergei and Svetlana met in Russia, the country was amid upheaval. The collapse of the Soviet Union brought on a rush of democratic transformation. Many people began turning to God, seeking spiritual support. Sergei and Svetlana converted, gained faith, and became members of the Seventh Day Adventist Church community. That faith and trust in God has changed their lives, dedicating their energy to serving people. They realized the importance of showing love and empathy to people to help enrich their lives. Only by giving love to others can you truly be happy and find the meaning of life.
Please join us in welcoming Pastor Sergei and his wife Svetlana to Maple Valley. We look forward to serving alongside him as the hands and feet of Christ.
